"I am pleased to announce the release of the American Innovation $1 Coin for the State of Alabama," said the Honorable Ventris C. Gibson, Director of the Mint. "The Saturn V rocket, designed and built at the George C. Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama was initially developed to support the Apollo program for human exploration of the Moon. We are honored to celebrate this major achievement with this coin."

"Alabama is a state of innovators, and the Saturn V rocket perfectly exemplifies that. It was Alabamians who helped put man on the moon, and today, we remain committed to ensuring our country is not only on the forefront of space exploration but innovation in all areas," said Alabama Governor Kay Ivey. "We are proud to now see the Saturn V rocket displayed on this coin and are honored to have Alabama and her people represented in this special, commemorative way."

The Alabama American Innovation $1 Coin reverse design depicts the power and force of the Saturn V rocket lifting off with the Moon in the background. Inscriptions are "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "SATURN V," and "ALABAMA." United States Mint Medallic Artist Craig A. Campbell designed and sculpted the image.

The obverse (heads) of all coins in the American Innovation $1 Coin Program features a dramatic representation of the Statue of Liberty in profile with the inscriptions "IN GOD WE TRUST" and "$1." The design also includes a privy mark of a stylized gear, representing industry and innovation. Mint Artistic Infusion Program (AIP) Designer Justin Kunz created the design, which Mint Medallic Artist Phebe Hemphill sculpted.

Incused on the coin's edge are "2024," the mint mark, and "E PLURIBUS UNUM."
